ND here it is, gentlemen, at last. As our old friend and fellow
sufferer, Billy Shakespeare, would say, "In sooth it seems like a
book ; it looks like a book ; Ye Gods, it is a book." Yes, sad as it
may seem, it is a book — the Nineteen-Seventeen Agromeck, and we .shall
feel well repaid for any work we may have put on it if it may meet with
your approbation.
"As usual" this year has been especially uneventful, but we have
tried to inject as much local color as possible. We must admit that it
contains many things that we had not originally expected, and also that
a number of things that we HAD expected are not in it. But "the best laid
schemes of mice and men," you know, and all that, so we can't say we
hadn't anticipated .something of the sort, or that we're bitterly dis-
appointed that some of our hopes failed to materialize. Indeed, we don't
think that we could do any better if we had it to do over again, and most
probably not so well. In fact, so far as our doing it over again is con-
cerned, the thing we're most positive about is that we wouldn't.
We may as well take our readers into our confidence ana tell them
what we had hoped to do in this book. We're afraid that if we don't tell
them they'll never find out, and we don't want to miss getting credit for
good intentions at least.
First we wanted the book to be distinctive, that is, we wanted it to
possess some essential work or tone of its own, by which it might be dis-
tinguished from other volumes of The Agromeck. Then, we wanted the
book to be representative, by which we mean that we wanted it to be a
picture, both grave and gay, of the year 1916-17 at A. and M. We wanted
the picture to be clear enough so that when the day comes, years hence, as
come it surely will, not once but many times, to every one of us, when we
shall recall (with Oh, what depth of longing!) Campus and Class Room
and Dorm, and the friends with whom they are peopled now, we may bring
out this book and find them all again. We hoped that in such a time pillar
and shade, long grown dim thru the mist of years between, might stand
forth clear again as yesterday in the turning of these pages ; and forms
once loved but long forgotten might start again into life : that in such an
hour this book might be our guide along many a forgotten path in the
pleasant Land of Long Ago.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY
N September, 1913, there were two hundred and forty of us. Now
we number only seventy-five. Three of our number — W. S.
Bridges, J. F. Williams, and R. C. Young were prevented from
returning last fall. Williams, who returned on parole, finished with us.
Bridges and Young were unable to rejoin us. We deplore their absence,
and hope that they will return and complete their courses with the Class
of Eighteen.
Our Class has taken a high stand in scholarship, as is shown by the
monthly honor rolls.
In athletics, we are second to none. We have given to the football
team : Artz, C. C. Cooke, McDougall, Sullivan, Tenney, and Van Brock-
lin, names that will not soon be forgotten by lovers of the gridiron sport.
Gammon, Hodgin, P. W. Johnson, W. M. Johnson, and Wheeler are well
known to baseball fans. W. M. Johnson and Temple represent us in
basket-ball ; while McDougall, Milsaps, and Scott have won honors on the
cinder path.
We have been well represented on the intercollegiate debating
teams — D. A. Monroe, W. K. Scott, and J. F. Williams having won more
debates than any other three A. and M. men. R. W. McGeachy was the
A. and M. representative at the intercollegiate oratorical contest held at
Durham last year.
As a Class, we have been active in promoting the best interests of
our College. At the suggestion of Captain Broadhurst, we introduced
important reforms in the dining-hall. We led in the movement which
made every student a member of the Y. M. C. A.; and it was our Class,
under the energetic and effective leadership of L. E. Wooten, that made
the new concrete bleachers possible.
While the Class of Seventeen is not the largest Class that ever finished,
it is safe to say that none has left a better record.

SENIOR CLASS POEM
Some neiv little Seniors have been launched on the sea,
Some new little minds are uyifurled:
Here's hoping the world may he good to them.,
And they may he good to the world.
The College has taught them how to he men,
By patience and guidance arid rule:
Here's hoping the school has been good to them,
And they may be good to the school.
Their love is pointing the icay they should go,
Since these new little minds are unfurled:
Here's hoping she may be good to them,
And they may be good to their girl.
The anchor is pulled from the harbor of hope,
Noiv the ripples cease to run:
They are sightless now, and all is still,
And the Seniors and fate are one.

Yes, Sir: he is the ADJUTANT,
lie may not be the man who is
to fill Edison's place ; and it may
be true that a girl saw him once,

of birthday parties, and then
doesn't come to them. Anyway, he

is versatile, too. None but a

interest in activities. "CLINE" has

His straightforward manner,

the desire to do things, will surely

One of Professor Park's "es-

in spite of it, we all like him. Why.
he once gave a party in his room
to the Textile Seniors. which.
accordinK to all reports, was unique
in local history. It seems that
some things really unusual did
happen, but reports have been sup-
pressed.
He and "Doctor" Parsons go to
all the shows, and most of the
barbecues : they have even been
seen at dances, am! at Church, by
the weary and watchful.
Why is it we must say Good Bye
to such fellows?

And here we have the official
genius of the Class. It may be
that he has many of the eccen-
tricities that go to make up a
genius; but then he is the real
article, which is shown by his do-
ing the seemingly imi»ossible in
taking the full course in three
years. He apparently has an un-
bounded capacity for hard work,
and for "Starting Somethinj;.'" It
has been an awfully good thing for
the peace of mind of the Faculty
that he has been rather busy with
his work.

everybody likes, ami who generally
manages to be riglit in front at
the finish, llis Freshmen say he's
one of the best inspectors on the
hill — and when a Freshman says
that about a man. you may put
him down as O. K. He is a good
student, a good friend, and a hard
worker. In short, "PRESSLY" is
an all-"round good fellow, and we
expect him to help make a name
for Nineteen -Seventeen.

It is liardly enough to say that
"iJII.L" is one of the most popular
men in college. He is the Prince
of the Cotton Mill ; a prominent
founder of the local order of Tea-
Hounds; a tourist of rare experi-
ences. He can beat Robert \V.
Service at his own game ; and if
George Barr McCutcheon but knew
liim he would beyond doubt have
a character for a novel that would
make "Truxton King" look as
cheap as a health bulletin. At
his chosen profession — a spinnei
of yarns — he is in a class of his

The success of a college in ath-
letics is due to such men as
"RED" — the scrubs. For four
years "RED" has worked for his
letter in vain. But was it in vain?
Those of us who know him, know
that A. and M.'s success in ath-
letics during the past four years
lias been due, in no small measure,
to this man. He has also been the
mainstay of all the Nineteen-
Seventeen class teams.
"REU" hails from the village of
i^ireensboro ; and he is proud of
that fact. If there was ever a
man without an enemy. "RED"
must be that man's brotlier.

fellow studied hard, stayed close to

exemplary paths in this, his last,
his only Senior year? We have
i|uestioned, we have debated, we
have inquired, and at last we have
reached a verdict — he really thinks
he's in love. According to his
room-mate, the only perceptible
advantage is a more "churchlike"

Agriculture in his Sophomore year.
He loves the ladies, and dancing ;
but he also finds time to study.
He is one of the best 440 men
who has ever represented A. and
M. on the cinder path. "MAC"
is also a good hurdler. He is an-
other Robeson County man who
has made good; and he swears by
Robeson Coiuity.

JUNIOR CLASS POEM
Ml/ duty is to sing the Junior —
The record of the Class of old Eighteen,
But I am modern; I can't he hampered
By form or custom, rhythm or meter;
For it's a simple thing enough, I grant you.
To dream the dream of visions that enchant you;
But tell me how a man with aching head
Can say it as a Poe would have it said,
— In poetic style.
I say I give to you the Junior —
The loyal Class of old Eighteen
We came here originally from many places, a)id
We came with heavy hearts and honest fear.
Full soon the upper-classmen got to knoiv us.
And tried forthwith the campus tricks to show us;
But then you knoiv we came to gather knowledge,
And some of us have made little reps in College,
— Oh the Registrar's file.
I really think you'd love the Junior
The man of the Class of old Eighteen.
We are all good fellows — athletes, soldiers,
A student or two — but mostly good felloivs.
We'll hate like sin to leave our alma mater
To become Presidents, or something greater;
But thank the Gods, there is another year
Before us, ere we shed the parting tear,
— And leaving, smile.

A HISTORY OF THE JUNIOR CLASS
T WAS in the fall of 1914 that we first came to A. and M. There
were two hundred and fifty of us then, and we were ambitious.
We left home with a lump in our throats, and a heart full of
misgivings. Upon our arrival here, we found things more or less
like we had anticipated. We were given a warm welcome. But we enjoyed
it (?) and, after the first letter from the folks and from Her, we settled
down to work.
In a few days we held our first Class meeting. It was the most dis-
orderly meeting ever held, but we managed to get organized. After the
mist of useless talking had cleared away, we found ourselves with the fol-
lowing officers: F. B. Whitaker, P)-e>iide)it; C. B. Skipper, Vice-Presidoit;
and E. F. Lewis, Secretaru- After the inaugural exercises of the above-
named gentlemen, we adjourned. Our next important move was the
organization of a football team. A few weeks later, it upheld our hopes by
playing a no-score game against the Sophomores. This was the only con-
test of the season for us. When basket-ball time came around, we fitted out
another, and watched it. We nearly won. And we laid the foundation
for a good team next year.
The next autumn we shed our greenness, and turned gay — but not for
long; for being a Sophomore was not all fun.
We began the year by electing the following officers: E. F. Lewis,
President; B. B. Stockard, Vice-President; and P. L. Canady, Secrefaii/.
In a few weeks we began our football practice and, before long, we had a
strong team developed. It captured the place of Class champions that
year. In the spring, we had a good basket-ball team, but it was kept
from the championship by losing a game to the Juniors.
And then, last fall, we came back as Juniors — serious-minded and
grave. We are just beginning to realize how important is our work.
This year we have the following men as our Class officers: M. M.
Dew, Presidoit; T. A. Belk, Vice-President; and R. A. Crowell, Secretarij.
No Class football was played last fall, and we did not organize a team ; but
we put out a good basket-ball team this spring. It won the Class champion-
ship.
We have given some good men to the athletics : Lewis, Ducey, and
Leeper to basket-ball; and Lewis and Evans to baseball. True, Bill is
not with us now ; but we always like to remember the time when he used
to pitch the "Red and White" to glory in the seventh inning.
In our life here, we have made new friendships, and developed new
ambitions and desires. We love our alma mater — as all of her sons do love
her — and in a few years more we hope to be doing things out in the world
of which she will be proud.

THE CLASS OF NINETEEN
(Composed in Blank Verse by the Class Poet)
We came to A. and M., as green a lot
As e'er this campus saiv; but being sure
(Thanks to our elder frie)ids) that we were here
To be improved, we set ourselves to learn
By carrying pails of water for the Sophs.
We loorked, they say. quite faithfully at this,
And soon knew what the rattle of dippers meant.
So many useful things we daily learned,
About humility and service to our betters.
That when the year was over we were pleased
To find ourselves a Class above the "green."
We had a nice reviving rest, and then
Returned as men determined; we were here
To work, and wo)-k is u-haf u-e hare kept up
(The Faculty don't think so. but they're wrong).
Ana as for sports, our Class has stood around
The top, for our good teams are hard to beat.
And when the Varsity wants a man to fill
A vacant place in certain teams, to our
Old Class they come to find a good support.
In fu'o more yea)-s, our time for partiug u'ill
Be here, and then we'll scatter out
To run the Univeise on the most modern lines.
So fellotvs, on; let's pull along together.
And show the folks of our beloved State
That we are here to win what comes our way.

SOPHOMORE CLASS
HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS
HE month of September, 191.j, beheld the advent of a new Fresh-
man Class at A. and M. — two hundred and seventy-five strong.
We came bearing the usual characteristics of a College Fresh-
man, characteristics already too well known to bear rehearsal.
Our awkwardness partly wore off with the passing of the first month, how-
ever, and with the aid of the Seniors we organized ourselves and elected
our Class officers. Chapin was elected President; Clute, Vice-Presidoit;
and Lincoln, Secretary a)id Treasurer. We also adopted the custom of
wearing Freshman caps, and were very well pleased with the idea. (We
were sorry to see the plan abolished this year.) Owing to the large num-
ber of students composing our Class, many of us were compelled to make
the "Shacks" our place of abode until the new South Dormitory was com-
pleted. But we entered our collegiate career with a determination to
gain both knowledge and experience, and at the end of our first year we
emerged from college a little wiser, and with a slightlv more serious view
of life.
We came back in the fall of nineteen-sixteen transformed into Soph-
omores, mildly egotistic. Some even presumed to produce a downy patch
of mustache upon their upper lips, without fear of having it shorn off.
On the morning following our arrival, our Class numerals were blazoned
forth in the accustomed places. Indeed, huge red and white Nineteens
appeared in spots unapproached by previous Classes. Altho this move
may have aroused dread in the hearts of the Freshmen, their fears were
groundless, for we had met and decided to uphold the non-hazing policy
of A. and M.
Our Class has made a good showing in all branches of athletics. We
elected Vanderburg manager, and H. A. McGinn as captain of the foot-
ball team for last year. As players on the Varsity football team, we fur-
nished Homewood, Lawrence, Weathers, Wagoner, and Chapin. For Var-
sity baseball, we gave Weathers and Wharton ; and among our men who
have made excellent showing in track athletics are Click, Potter, Williams,
Murrell, and Stoffregen.
Our Class has been reduced considerably in numbers since last Sep-
tember. Some have decided to try their fortunes elsewhere ; and not a
few gave up their college work to protect Uncle Sam from Mexican in-
vasion along the border. Yet, it is natural for us to think that the present
Sophomore Class is still the best in the history of our College.
Here we end our Sophomore year at A. and M. We are thankful to
those who have helped us to make the first half of our college life po.ssible,
and to those of the Faculty who have aided us to gain that for which we
have striven; and we consider it no dishonor to feel proud of having done
the tasks which depended upon our own endeavor.

FRESHMAN CLASS POEM
In high school we sirived to yain the great Iniuii'lidgc
Sufficient to enter ns at A. and M. College;
Our studies were hard; we u-orkcd like a man
To reach our high goal — .4. and M. so grand.
Noiv we are here, three hundred and more;
Where'er you look there's Fresh meat galore.
We're' strong in studies, as well as in number;
Str07ig in our play, and strong for our slumber.
A rap on our door, in conies fhc O. D.
With a notice for Fresh to go see P. G.
There's no use to argue, nor try to explain.
For every effort will all be in rain.
The Registrar will say, "Mr. Fresh, I see.
That last night you failed in your room to be."
There's nothing to say, so a line you get,
And you fitid experience the best teacher yet.
To the Sophs above us we bow onr heads.
Sweep all their floors, and make up their beds. *
Buckets of water to their rooms we bring —
For the Fresh to the Sophs is a dear little thing.
The jokes are (luite jolly, and all played in fun —
We realized this, when college life we begun.
We've learned to receive, and our plans we make;
For next year the Sophomore places we take.
With drilling, in fact, we were all ignoninl.
We soon learned the art from our new Commandant.
At first, our actions were awkward and rough ;
Yet we soon 'came efficient, steady, and tough.
The Companies were formed, each man to his place;
The steps of the leaders we all tried to trace.
While drilling, we strive for a goal so grand —
A "Captain," at the head of a Company, to stand.
The first month past, and flunk slips ive found;
Campused next month, we went not up town.
But we studied hard, with all our might;
Each week the following month we got our "one tiight.
Our kind jirofessors we greet irith a smile.
Thanking each one for his teachings and style.
To our ruling Seniors, ive all give three cheers.
And wish them success thru all their years.

HISTORY OF THE FRESHMAN CLASS
N THE seventh day of September, 1916, there were registered
about two hundred and seventy new students, who were to com-
=J pose the Senior Class of Nineteen-Twenty. This is the largest
number of new men to ever register at A. and M. College. Altho entering
with a greater number than any previous year, we were as green as any
preceding Class. The first month seemed like a year to us, and we went
to bed at night with a feeling that our peaceful slumber would be disturbed
before morning. It was a sight, to see us peering under the bed-covering
before retiring, to see if our old friend Mr. Zi]) had been hidden in its
folds by some unknown hand.
After a short time, we began to feel more at home, and to know
each other better, so that we began to rest easier and pay more attention
to our studies.
On September 23, we elected Mr. H. S. Hill as Presideni for 1916-
1917. We elected Mr. Plato Durham as Vice-President, Mr. E. L. Quillin
as Secretary, and Mr. J. H. Williams as Treasurer. At our next meet-
ing we elected the following officers : Mr. R. L. Black as manager of
the football team, Mr. F. D. Cline as captain of the basket-liall team, Mr.
H. S. Hill as Class Poet, and Mr. A. L. White, Jr., as Class Historian.
In athletics, we have made a good showing, altho there were no inter-
class games. We furnished several men to the Varsity eleven, and the
prospects are that we will furnish several men to the basket-ball squad.
The outlook of the coming baseball season is that we will furni.sh some
good material for the baseball squad ; and also the track team.
So, in conclusion, we wish to extend a friendly hand to all upper-
classmen, and thank them for their many kindnesses to us while Fresh-
men ; and also to assure them that we expect to have the largest and best
Sophomore Class that ever represented the Red and White.

UNITY
Four years ago, ice started toicard tlie (joal
That gleamed ^before us radiant, bright,
A beacon for each weary soul
Engaged in intellecttial fight.
As we've toiled omvard up the rugged path
Toward the long-sought and cherished prize.
We've borne unmoved the teacher's ivrath.
And striven always to look wise.
Oh, many a time ive've answered all as one
The voice of duty as it made demand;
A7id followed, learning daily ere the sun
Had disappeared beyond the timeworn sand.
And since we've reached at last what seemed to all
Four years ago to be the end of strife,
We now must surely heed a greater call,
And bear the burdens of a larger life.
We know not what the future holds in store;
Nor what to us approaching years may bring;
But this, indeed, we know, if yiothing more,
That sacred mem'ries to our Jiearts will cl!)i(/
In years to come, ivhen drifting far apart
Out in the ivorld our busy lives to spend.
May mem'ries clinging round each faithful licart
Keep us united till ive reach the END.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES
HE work of the College Young Men's Christian Association has \ !|
gone steadily forward from the very beginning of the school year. !i
Increased interest in every phase of its work has been manifested
along many lines, and by more students than ever before in the
history of our A. and M. Association. Among the first and most significant
forward advances of the year, in behalf of the Association, was the action
taken last Fall by the whole student-body which resulted in placing the
future membership of our Association upon an absolutely new and solid jjj
basis. The action as taken and as agreed upon by a written petition, 11
and then signed by the student-body, was this : That at the beginning
of each of the two terms, commencing with the second term of the present
session, every student, of his own volition, should pay over to the Bursar
one clollai- as his dues, thereby paying two dollars in all for a full mem-
bership in the Association. This amount is a reduction of one-third of
the regular cost of a membership, and was thus made possible only on
the condition that every man became a member.
This innovation has long been desired by many who have felt a
keen interest in the work of the Y. M. C. A., and now that it has been
adopted, and is working successfully, we can not overestimate its im-
portance from every standpoint. With every man as a member, and
with a splendid building and an equipment such as we have, the Associa-
tion ought to be the biggest, the most vital and democratic organization
in College.
Our Association has long since been the center of the religious; life of
the College, but we now rejoice to see it coming into its fuller purpot:e of
administering to the whole life of the whole student-body. As it is the
headquarters for all athletics, the Literary Societies, the College Pub- ; ;
lications, the social life, etc., of the school, we also covet for it an even a (
greater life, where every man may feel that it is his Club, and that he has j *
a voice in the shaping of its policies. We are glad, therefore, to see j |
evidences of a growing interest along this last-mentioned line in the | j
increased numbers who are frequenting the building. Leading men are 1 1
more and more taking part in our varied activities. Our Sunday night j j
meetings have increased in numbers by almost fifty per cent. Mission
Study, once a dead subject, has two hundred and seventy-five men eni-olled
in its classes. i
While we recognize many failures in the work, we feel grateful for
what has been accomplished, and we believe the Association will continue
to grow in its influence and usefulness as it strives to create and main-
tain a healthful Christian influence in the College.

A TOAST TO THE A. AND M. BOYS
Come girls, fill the ei-ystal cup,
Brimming up;
Fill it up of cheer and laughter,
Fill it up, and fill it faster;
Crown it with all youthful joi/s;
Drink it, drain if.
Clink your glasses, girls.
To the boys — the Boys of A. and M.
Fill agaiti that sparkling enp;
Brimming up;
Fill it full of nature's brew,
Distilled in rain or snow or dew,
It matters not so it bring to you,
Strciigth and Itealfh,
Hajipincss and wealth.
To you boys, you A. and M. boys.
Then fill it up, that generous eup.
Brimming up.
'Tis Adam's ale, they call it,
'Tis a symbol of all that's pure and true,
Of all that's strong and manly, too.
Of all that we should wish for you, boys_
Of all that you are, boys.
You hoys of A. and M.
Wc drink to you a jiartiiii/ cup,
Brimnring up.
With memories of this ghid day
To brighten many a morrow.
You bade us come, we came, boys.
We go where you can't follow.
But if you get in trouble, just "lioller"
And we'll come boys.
To tlie boys of A. and M.
— E. Viola Kilpatrick
The above is a toast given by Miss Viola l^iilpatrick, of the Kast Carolina Teachers' Training School,
upon the occasion of the girls' annual visit to the Capital t'ity.

MOTHER HUBBARD
(A revised version, written in Modern English according to Dr.
Hill's standard.)
Old Mother Hubbard,
Went to her sanitary, washable, all-enamel icebox,
To get her impoverished canine an ossicle (bonelet) ;
But when she arrived there.
For miles you could hear her swear.
She found that the sanitary ice-box contained but a vacuum.
And so her registered, pure bred, prize winning, blue ribbon canine
was compelled, much against his wishes, to subsist on a diet consisting
of a gaseous mixture composed of one part oxygen and four parts nitrogen,
and whatever else he could get.

FAREWELL, OH, OSCULATION!
News Item: Professor Knutt, of
Oshkosh University, suggests that
Congress be required to pass a bill
whereby a gentle pat-pat shall be
substituted for a kiss. He states that
nearly one-tenth of all the diseases to
which man is susceptible are caused
by the deadly germs which are con-
veyed thru kisses.
We will now find the poets and
novelists using such forms as these
in their new compositions:
From the last lines of a popular
novel :
"Billy (the hero) takes Louise (the
heroine) in his arms and tenderly
placing one hand under her cheek
he stoops and gently presses a long
and lingering pat-pat upon her ruby
lips."
And in the dime novel:
"Deadeye Dick rises and thunders
across the stage. 'Pat-pat me, now.
Pauline,' he exclaims savagely, 'or I
swear by my false teeth that you will
rue this day.' 'Never, never,' she re-
plies, 'will I pat-pat you, Deadeye,
until you reveal to me the hiding
place of your ill-gotten gold'. "
And in Snajipy Stories, when Per-
cival Algernon is writing his daily
letter to Lucille:
"Oh, Beloved, if only you were
cushioned in the shelter of my arms,
and I could look into your eyes — eyes
filled with love antl passion, then
would I press madly upon your lus-
cious lips pat-pat after pat-pat, un-
til again I would awaken thy former
passion from the apathetic ashes of
forgetfulness."

RUMORS OF AN ENGINEER-
ING DEPARTMENT
We have heard it rumored re-
peatedly in the past year that there
either is, or is to be, an Engineer-
ing Department at the North Caro-
lina Agricultural College. How-
ever, we hope it is not true; and
anyway we don't believe it.
It would be tragedy should our
beatific somnolence be disturbed by
these pushing, slide-rule-slipping
sons of equations !
And now a word to the wise.
Let us gather ourselves together,
arouse all our sleeping brothers,
and rise in our might to push back
this invasion of our lotus fields.
For, mark my words, should this
department be established, it is
possible, nay it is even probable,
that some few of our faculty might
become contaminated, and expect
us to do a little work occasionally.
It must not be ! It shall not be !
"The Y. M. C. A. does not fill
the need of the students for spirit-
ual stimulation," says James W.
Cooper.
In a stirring address to those
interested in spiritual affairs at
this College, Mr. James W. Cooper
scored the Y. M. C. A.
The point of the address was
that the spiritual side of the col-
lege life was not stressed suffi-
ciently. A large and enthusiastic
audience was present, and his
every remark was applauded to
the echo.
A committee consisting of J. W.
Cooper, chairman, with Carl Har-
ris, W. C. Clinard, C. B. Skipper,
and N. Burfoot as assistants, was
appointed. This committee is to
be known as "The Committee for
the Promotion of Spiritual Influ-
ence at A. and M. College."
SCIENCE AND ART OF AGRI-
CULTURE IN GREAT
DANGER
Many grave dangers have threat-
ened the great agrarian industries,
from the days of our simple grand-
fathers to the days of their yet
simpler grandsons. We have
watched in silence, and seen man
after man lose interest in his work
and drop from the ranks of this
great profession. And so we feel
called upon to speak, as best we
can, in the hope of saving some of
our young men fi-om the toils.
My son, beware of these Raleigh
chickens. They look innocent. So
does a charge of dynamite. But
both are capable of producing dis-
astrous results if improperly han-
dled.
It is indeed distressing to note
the number of young men who
THE DEAD AS NIGHT
have enrolled themselves in the
courses in "Applied Poultry Chas-
ing." But it is indeed heartbreak-
ing to stand on Fayetteville Street,
and note the zeal with which our
young men go about the affairs of
the "Chicken Lab."
Will they rise at four a. m. to
get your breakfast ? Will they em-
broider your galluses? They will
not! So beware, unwary youth,
of these black-cow toping movie-
devouring chickens. They will
lead you from the straight and
narrow path that leads to the clod-
hopper and the cornpone.
BARBECUE THE EVENT OF
THE SEASON
Brilliant Coup of Agricultural
Department
Whose was the master-mind that
originated the idea ? Let him come
forward, and be acclaimed!
Promptly as the first whistle
blew for chapel, on Monday, No-
vember 23, every man in the Agri-
cultural Department started for
the Agriculture Building. There
assembled, they marched a short
five miles to the chosen site of the
banquet. And by the time they
had gone thru all the mud they
were a sight !
By working with speed, the
twenty acres of corn that must
be shucked to pay for the use of
the ground was finished by noon.
Then all assembled for the glorious
repast. Barbecued pig, soda crack-
ers, pickles, and water. What
more could anyone want? Hon-
estly, it was almost as good as one
of Hurley's feeds when Rufe is in
a bad humor. Several men almost
got enough to eat. And then we
had the privilege of paying for it.
Yes, it was a great day.
But the best is always the last.
And so it was in this case, for the
best part of this glorious day was
the aftermath. For the faculty
was so pleased with this idea that
they declined to deprive themselves
of the pleasure of our company
over Thanksgiving, and they let
us have classes on Friday, and drill
on Saturday, too.
This is no time for false modes-
ty. Let the man who originated
this idea come forward. What we
won't do for him !
A. AND M. TO HAVE PACK OF
TEA HOUNDS
Ever since it has been in exis-
tence, A. and M. has been keeping
pace with the rest of the colleges
of the South, in every phase of
college life. However, it remained
for Squire Blue, of Pinehurst, to
discover that we are in danger of
losing the proud record. Need-
less to say, but little time will
elapse until the Squire has organ-
ized a Pack of Tea Hounds that
will outclass anything in the State.
Of course we have had species
of the "Tea Hound" here all the
time, but up to the present it has
been rather a forlorn and neglec-
ted animal. The Squire's plan is
to collect these animals, organize
them, and see that their interests
are well looked after. And, once
organized, and with such men be-
hind it as Blue, Powell, Temple,
Dodson, Grier, Wilson, and Harris,
THE DEAD AS NIGHT
it goes without saying that nume-
rous blue ribbons will be dis-
played in the trophy case at the
Y. M. C. A. in the near future.
All projects of this sort, of
course, need some member of the
Faculty to act as sponsor, and to
look out for the interests of the
organization in general. Squire
Blue feels that we are particularly
blessed in this respect, and that in
Dr. Frederick he has the ideal man
for this position. Under his guid-
ing hand, the Tea Hounds will be
assured a long and prosperous ca-
reer.
In line with Captain Broadhurst's sug-
gestion at the beginning of the year,
that the upperclassmen endeavor to give
the Freshmen some cultural training in
the mess hall, the Dead As Night wishes
to make a little suggestion which might
prove of benefit to the incoming Class of
Nineteen Twenty-One. This suggestion
is to the effect that a committee be se-
lected from the present Junior Class,
which shall meet and formulate a set of
rules, giving, so to speak, a few hints in
regard to the art of eating. These could
be issued in the form of a pamphlet, and
mailed to the prospective students at the
same time that the Y. M. C. A. dissem-
inates its book of misinformation com-
monly called "The Freshman Bible."
The help of the Department of Domestic
Science at Meredith might possibly be of
assistance.
We would suggest the incorporation
of the following hints, which we have
gained thru long experience.
1. Never blow on your soup to cool it.
Fan it with your hat.
2. Don't try to make more noise in
eating it than your neighbor. You'll do
it without trying.
3. If you must inhale your soup, use
a straw.
4. Don't put your napkin under your
chin. Wear a soup-colored shirt.
5. Never mix beer with your water-
melon.
6. If you expect to enter society,
learn how to entertain an olive before
your arrival.
7. As you approach the table, make
a running jump for your chair, endeav-
oring to be the first one seated. Per-
chance the football captain will see you,
and note your speed.
8. If peas are served, don't use your
fingers. Borrow your neighbor's knife.
Two are faster than one. (The experts
at the Experiment Station have an-
nounced that they are perfecting a
square pea, which is guaranteed not to
roll off the knife blade.)
9. If you spill your coffee in your
neighbor's lap, instantly assure him
that you really didn't care for the cof-
fee, anyway. Tell him not to mind it
at all.
10. When a meal is finished, they
sometimes bring you a small dish filled
with water. This is a finger bowl.
When you have soaked your thumbs in
this long enough for it to acquire a bouil-
lon appearance, shake off the water on
the floor, and wipe your hands on the
tablecloth.

SOCIETY NOTES
The Tuesday Afternoon Club will meet on Wednesday of this week instead of
Thursday. The meeting had been originally scheduled for Friday, but on account
of Mrs. Jones' last baby having cut a new tooth, it was changed to Saturday; but
because of the circus it was moved up to Monday, Sunday being a holiday. The date
was later changed to Tuesday, as the almanac had forecasted rain for Monday. Its
meeting at that time, however, was prevented, due to the Fashion Show at the school-
house. The President, Mrs. Smith, announces that the meeting will assuredly be
held on the day appointed (unless something happens to prevent).

WHAT FOOLS THESE PORTALS SEE!
T was a late Kail day. 1 was coming out to the College, via the railroad track, and had just
left the station, when I noticed another wayfarer walking along the tracks just ahead of me.
His dress, manner of walking, and general appearance excited my interest to such an extent
that I quickened my steps in order to study him more closely. When I had drawn up with-
in a few feet vi him, I slowed down, and carefully gave him the "once over." His attire was
J... peculiar that it reminded me {if such a thing were possible) of a combination of the habiliments of
Don Quixote, Samuel Jdhnsnii. and the lamented Ichabod Crane at the time of his last appearance.
His method of walking was a mix-
ture of the German goose step,
the half-and-half, and the modern
fox trot. My interest was so great
that I hurried my pace until I
reached him, when I tapped his
shoulder, and apparently surprised
him from a deep reveiie.
i>7Tr>.?frt r y^^ V \ r^r^i.iru a/ ir. /> ^ "Hello, old Scout," I said; "you
appear to be a stranger in these
parts."
"Well, not exactly," he replied ;
"Uio I haven't been here before in
over hfty years."
This reply stimulated my al-
ready overtaxed interest to such
an extent that I asked him what
his name might be. He slowly
turned, and after giving me a long
and quizzical glance, he placed his
hand on my neck and drew my
head down until he could whisper
in my ear, "I am the Wandering
Jew." This reply so startled me
that I could only look at him
intently for the next few minutes.
altlio a thousand tjuestions occurred
to me later which I could have
put to such a celebrity. Noting
my amazement, he <irew closer,
and began: "Yes," he said, "I am
llic- one known as the Wandering
Jl-w. 1 am the bridge across the
centuries. I wantler ceaselessly
fiom place to place. It requires
aliout a half -century to make a
complete circuit. My last visit to
Raleigh was just after the close
nf the War between the States.
The town had fared much better
than other Southern cities, and I
had expected to find a modern and
enterprising city when I relnrneil.
Hut, alas, it is the same old town,
living in the traditions of the past
instead of the possibilities of the
present ilay. Un k'"' y passed in bygone ilays. l'-\ uii llu- old buiUlings have not rliaiiucd nuicli the
market-house, theater, ami Union Station are the same old relics as in former days. I'.ut 1 undci st.ind
that a College has l)cen built up in the western part of town in the last few years."
"Yes," I said; "we have a College now, of which tlu- whole State is justly proud."
"Well, well; I'm glatl to hear that; and it would give me great pleasure to spend the night,
and look it over."
" Yes"' he sai^/'I atnthe'^V^iideTmy' Jevv'.'"
Telling him that i was one of the stiulents, 1 insisted upon his stopping with me fi.-r the night.
We were now just emerging from Pullen Park, and as we climbed out of the raihuad cut he caught
his first view of the Collesrc buildings.
"Ah 1 eautiful, leauttfull" he exclaimed, after resting his eyes upon tlu-m for a few moments, and
then turning and casting a lingering glance backward his eye lit upon the massive dome whicli surmounts
the Home for the Feehle-Minded,
Turning quickly to me, h^ exclaimed, "And what is this, another College?"
"Oh no!" I replied; "that is Dix Hill, the Insane AsyKini,"
"The what?" he asked.
"The home for the nuts, the bughouse boys, the crazy people."
"Oh," he exclaimed, a gleam of intelligence lighting his face. "This college then is an entirely
diii'erent kind of place, I take it."
"Sure," I replied; "this is where the
youth of the State come to learn things, to
get an education."
He appeared so interested that I
l)romised to sliow him the wdiole outfit,
and took him down to the Mess Hall for
supper.
At the table. Eb. McPhaul was
talking about his schedule. "By Golly,"
said Eb., "youghta take Sunny Jim's
Farm Management. It's a crip course ;
you can go to sleep on class ; and the
old boy don't mind how much you cut."
My friend picked up his ears.
"What is that — cutting?"
"That means not going to your
classes." I informed him.
"They seem very delighted to be
able to, er, cut," observed he.
"Sure they are. Everybody is."
'*Why don't they abolish these use-
less and tiring classes, then?"
He was an extremely stupid per-
son. I explained to him patiently that
classes were not useless, that they were
here to go to, and there wouldn't be any
College without them. He only said
"Hum-m-m-m" in a pungent tone, and
dropped the subject.
Shortly after, a "hot dog" came
hurtling thru the air, and landed with a
thud on the end of the table. My patron
looked at it for a few moments, and then
picked it up with his fingers and examined
it closely.
"Wliat is this?" he inquired.
"A weinie, a hot dog, a sausage," I told him.
"Is it supposed to be an article of food?"
"Yes," I said : "we have them quite fre(|uentl
thirty days."
"What!" he exclaimed. After I had explained, he looked at it closely
do they throw them around in this manner, if they have to pay for them?"
"Oh, just because they are not supposed to do it,'" I replied.
"But didn't you say this was a College — an institution for the training of youtli?'
"Yes," I told him.
He only shook his head, and again uttered his significant "Ilm-ni-m-m."
Oh Billi/I You are such a. perfectly ador-
able dancer/ she snid.

Later in the evening, we went over to P'uUen Hall to a dance. My friend was perfectly amazed
to see the large crowd working away at that form of violent exercise called the One-Step. "These
people — they are assuredly mad?" he inquired.
■•Xo, no; not at all! Why some of our foremost, most intelligent students are here!" I sai.l,
indignantly.
"Ah, it is some religious festival, then?"
"Well, not exactly. It is a form of — of diversion. They do it for pleasure. Don't you see?"
No, he didn't see. Thot yap couldn't see the simplest things. But his attention was distracted by a
passing couple. The girl, a small fluffy little thing, murmured to her partner as they glided past,
"Oh. liilly, you are such a perfectly adorable dancer, and so big and strong." Hilly swallowcil two or
three times in expressible emotion, and asked her for three dates that week.
"The lady admires the young gentleman very much, doesn't she?" observed my friend.
"Don't you believe it," said I; "she's simply playing politics — pulling his leg."
His glistening eyes widened, "Wha-a-a-t ! playing politics — pulling his—"
1 hastily turned to him, convinced that he could understand nothing. "She's — oh, she's ileluding
him, fooling him, playing him for a sucker, leading him on. In reality, she thinks he's a poor simp —
which he really is. That's what most girls think of the men they go around with,
men take it all in, get infatuated, and spend all their money on them."
"The men — they believe all this?"
"Ves, absolutely — drink it in."
"Hut you say they are highly intelligent."
"Why — er — yes; but let's go." I took him up to my
ting weak.
In the morning, I took him over and let him look at
C". .\.. and let him smell the swimming pool.
After that, we went to the postoffice, where he saw three hundred men wait in line thirty
minutes for the mail, with two hundred and fifty of them getting nothing. Then to the Library, where
he saw the chairs filled with students reading Life, Puck, and Judge, while Shakespeare, Milton, and
liurke remained undisturbed on the shelves. I took him over to the Agricultural Ruilding, where he saw
three hundred Freshmen taking Agriculture; and two hundred of them had never been down to the barns.
In the afternoon, we went out to the Athletic Field, where he saw fifty men from a studentdjoily
of seven hundred out for football. I took him to the Parade Ground, and showed him the "pride" the
students took in their drill.
He had said nothing for the last hour. When I told him we had seen practically everything, he
found his voice at last. He thanked me for my kindness, and said he was going — immediately.
"Where to?" I asked.
"Back to Di.\ Hill," he replied. "The folks over there admit that they're crazy."

A TRAGEDY
ATHER was upstairs, and Billy was coming tonight. Only three
days before they had had a violent political argument. Words
had been passed, and an actual fight narrowly averted. Apologies
had been made (for public appearance), but I knew that the feel-
ing of antagonism still e.xisted personally
At eight-thirty, I opened the door as silently as possible, and took
him into the living-room. I knew that everything would be all right if
they did not see each other, and this would be easy to do unless Father
should come down. Really, it was an awkward situation — to have one's
Father and the person to whom one was secretly engaged in the same
house, and "at outs" with each other.
A slight noise upstairs — Father was slipping on his shoes. Was
he merely going to the bathroom, or was he coming down? His door
opened — then came the sliding steps along the hallway. Ah — on the
stairsteps — down, one, two, three — he was coming — there was no way to
avert it. I was teri-or-stricken — more sliding steps — the knob on the door
clicked — he was coming in !
With a scream, I rushed from the room, and slammed the door. I
visualized the scene — the look of surprise on Father's face — then anger —
the sarcastic words — the rush across the room — the uplifted hand — then
the blow. And Billy loved me too well to strike back. I could not let
Father do this.
I rushed in ; but it was too late. Father had hit him — for a cigar.

A NEWLY DISCOVERED PSALM
Y daughter, as a small boy abhorreth the washing of his ears, as
a woman dreadeth the donning of a tight corset, so doth a man
dread the writing of a love letter.
Behold he meeteth a damsel at a svmimer resort, and they are
Twin Souls. Yea, for a whole week he is perfectly devoted ; and when he
departeth for the city he is filled with sorrow.
He cla.speth her hand mightily, and voweth never to forget her; he
maketh promise saying :
"I will write thee tomorrow. Beloved" ; and lo the damsel believeth
him.
Upon the first day she watcheth eagerly for the postman, and is
astonished when he bringeth her nought.
Upon the second day she goeth herself to meet him, and inquireth
seven times at the hotel desk if the mail hath come.
And upon the third day she weepeth privily, and can not be com-
forted, for there is still no letter.
And upon the fourth day she arises m her wrath. Yea, she is furious.
She gnasheth her teeth, and tosseth her chin, saying:
"Oh, very well ; he shall see, he shall see !"
But upon the fifth day she is reconciled. She casteth him out of her
thoughts. She fixeth her hair a new way. She beginneth to "take notice."
She observeth that there are "other men." She findeth another "Twin
Soul."
And upon the si.xth day she hath forgotten him entirely.
(For a man's love thriveth upon hope, but a woman's faith must have
something more substantial to feed upon.)
And upon the seventh day his letter arriveth.
And lo, the maiden receiveth it with surprise ; she openeth it casually ;
she skimmeth it languidly.
She passeth it to her chum, saying:
"Look who's here. Even he concerning whom I was so silly last
week."
And her chum yawneth, and maketh answer, saying:
"I never could perceive what thou sawest in him."
And thus endeth a perfectly good flirtation.
Verily, verily, as a small boy shuddereth at the thought of taking
castor oil, as a woman shrinketh from the thought of telling her age, so
doth a man shy at the thought of the writing of a letter.
And a handwritten letter from a man is a greater proof of devotion
than a thousand spoken promises.

With apologies to N. A. H.
0 Pointed One,
Tliat relets upon mil ladi/'.'! hair
Like unto the spire of
A village church;
And dost warn me
By thy shining gleam
Of the malice thou dost hear me,
Hear nn/ ivail!
Ill truth, the insidious
Reflection irhirh darts across
Thy surface from uo)i
Low-turned lamp
Dost foretell, with dire certainty.
Thy never-dying watchfulness;
And when, with tender yearning,
1 do encircle the fair Gladys
With my arm,
And wonldst draw her close.
That I might the better, a kiss
Upon her red lips press.
Thou balk'st me.
Getting in my eye.
Or tvhen I, after long talk
And much pleading.
Have succeeded in drawing close
Her radiant form
Into my aching arms.
266
Thou dost again remind me
Of thy presence
By sharpening thy treacherous point
Against my Adam's apple.
And yet, I could forgive thee
All these things, O Evil One;
But why, at parting time,
After I have been sat upon all night
By her wakeful mother.
Whom I have entertained with much gossip
Of the streets.
Or have driven away, by ferocious glances.
My ever-encroaching rival.
Dost thou insistently.
When I would in her small ear
Some precious secret whisper.
Plunge thy ?nalignant barb
Deep into my yiose?
Why, O Imp of Hell, Why?

MY LOVE
(A la Snappy Stories)
rTnH Y love is a curious little creature. She's very changeable. When
I I I first see her, she's a darling. She embraces me in her warm
i'^"i clinging grasp. I close my eyes, and feel her soft langourous touch
on my hair, my eyes, my lips. Over me there steals a delicious feeling
of relaxation. She soothes my emotions. I lift my face in order to get
the full benefit of her warm kisses. I adore her.
And then she changes — She becomes cold. Her icy touch freezes me,
and my gooseflesh arises. She makes me shudder. My teeth chatter.
Her kisses are icy, and I draw my arms over my head to ward off her
caresses. Finally, when I can stand it no longer, I leave her.
Yes, she is a variable little thing — my sweetheart ; but I love her.
My old shower-bath. —J. B. P.

But when the waiter

The poor fool nearly

LOOK back over the past years and ask yourself what other
Engraving Institution, specializing in college annuals, has
wielded so wide an Influence over the College Annual Field?
Ask yourself if College and University Annuals are not better tO'
day because of BUREAU PROGRESSIVENESS and BUREAU
INITIATIVE?
You know that the BUREAU OF ENGRAVING, Inc. inaug^
urated the system of Closer Co'Operation with college annual
boards in planning and constructing books from cover to cover.
Our marked progress in this field commands attention. Our
establishment is one of the largest of its kind in this country.
Our Modern Art Department of noted Commercial Art Experts
is developing Artistic Features that are making "Bureau" Annuals
Famous for Originality and Beauty,
And again, the help of our experienced College Annual Depart-
ment is of invaluable aid. Our up'tO'the-minute system, which we
give you, and our Instructive Books v^/ill surely lighten your Burden.
A proposition from the Natural Leaders in the College Annual
Engraving field from an organization of over 150 people, founded
over 17 years ago, and enjoying the Confidence and Good Will
of the foremost Universities of this country, is certainly worth
your while.
Is not the BUREAU OF ENGRAVING, Inc., Deserving of
the Opportunity of showing what it can do for ■■ YOU?

EDITORS' LAST WORD
ND now, gentlemen, you have seen the book. We hope that you like
it. If you praise it, you honor us ; and if you criticize it, you honor
us — for in both cases we shall know that you have done us the
honor to read it.
We came to A. and M. primarily in pursuit of that elusive, much-
sought-for thing called Education. We are not professional publishers,
and we trust that we never shall be. Mistakes we have made, for which
we crave your indulgence.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to those who have
made the book possible. To Mr. Ad Goodwin we are especially indebted
for the quality and quantity of work that he has contributed to the Art
Department. We feel no less appreciative of the kindness of Messrs.
Dixon and Rogers, of the Student-Body.
We wish to take this method of thanking Mr. Archie Horton, of
Horton's Studio, not only for the faithful work on our pictures and photo-
graphs, but also for the many personal favors he has rendered us. We
wish also to thank Mr. Sher, of the Bureau of Engraving, of Minneapolis,
Minn. ; and Mr. Gates, of The Observer Printing House, Gharlotte, N. G.,
for their faithful service and their personal suggestions and interest in
the book. " ' "'-''
We recommend them to the staff of Nineteen-Eighteen.
"And what is writ is writ —
Would it were worthier."
B. Powell
